Colloidal dispersions are thermodynamic systems displaying a variety of phenomena such as ordering formation and phase transitions. Diversity of those phenomena has its origin in a subtle nature of interaction potential of colloid particles, which changes its medium-range and long-range characteristic depending on conditions of dispersions. Review on both experimental and theoretical studies of colloidal dispersions is given and a proposal of structure analyses of dilute dispersions by laser diffraction and CCD photography in the ISS microgravity environment is made.
